Fall in Love - Boston Engagement Photography 5 Tips for Finding the Perfect Shoot Location

A moment stolen among the flowers of the Arnold Arboretum by your favorite Boston Wedding Photographer, of course those blooms aren’t there all year round so you have to know what you’re looking for when it comes to picking a location.

There are plenty of amazing locations all around New England for your engagement photography session with Ryan Richardson Photography - if you’re looking for a dramatic view of the ocean, a romantic stroll in the forest, or a bit of urban sophistication, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. I’ve put together a few questions to help you pick out a great location for your engagement session.

What Is Your Love Story? There are so many different moments and memories that go into making a truly great love story like yours, and you can draw on those to find the perfect engagement session location. Maybe it’s where you had your first date? Perhaps it’s where your partner popped the question? Or maybe it’s just the corner bar where you had date nights when the two of you were in grad school. What places have been meaningful for your relationship?

What’s the Vibe? They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so what do you want to say with your engagement session? Do you want to talk about how you’re outdoorsy and adventurous? Maybe it’s about your love of food and art? If you are really good at planning - maybe you want to incorporate your wedding theme and tone. Knowing what sort of feeling you want to have with your engagement photography is a great way to start narrowing down your options. What mood do you want to create?

What’s Your Timeline? Your engagement session can happen any time of the year, but some couples want to get it done quickly so they can have images for their wedding website or Save the Date cards. Picking a time of year or date for the session can help let nature determine the best locations for your session. For example, forests can be lush and beautiful in the summer and fall but they can often look gray and barren in the middle of winter (especially without a cover of snow).

What are some of your favorite locations for photographs? What’s the most unique location you’ve seen for an engagement session around Boston?
